[ William's experience with his telepathy is that it's always there, always active, and he can hear the murmuring of voices as one might hear a crowded hallway. Conversations picked up in snatches or if he concentrates, but only those that are loud are usually clearest. "Loud" usually means emotionally sensitive in some way and so this is an unfamiliar sensation. ]

[ The feeling of something - of emptiness - skirts in some part of the castle. He doesn't notice it at first in the same way someone might hear a passing conversation. He can't describe it as getting louder, but it gets more intense in the way that same loudness might. He doesn't often actively try to use his telepathy - a fact he's aware he probably should now or Agatha might get onto him for - but he tries now reaching out mentally to the inky space that should be a mind but isn't. ]

[ And then everything goes black. It's enough to cause a moment of panic in its wild equal familiarity and unfamiliarity - because he can't help but think of that nothingness that came from the end of Westview. Except here it's quiet and there's no sense of the whirling sound of a world collapsing on itself. ]

[ It's quiet, empty, and dark - and he gets the sense he's not alone. His mental voice is quiet and confused, too, as it reaches: ]

Hello?

[ The quiet is unnerving. ]

[ The quiet is nice. ]

[ And then there's a voice. ]

[ He doesn't think about how it feels like he has some conscious form when he turns - it feels natural enough, as so much of his own magick does. His head tilting slightly at the younger teenager's greeting. He's still himself, stillness comes easy. ]

[ But he almost smiles at the comment. ]

Neither was I.

[ Looking for her he means. ] You're quiet.

[ a beat ] Or create quiet? On the inside, I mean.

I'm William.

[ Eleven. El is for friends. It's probably a good thing that she doesn't consider someone in her mind a potential friend - He can't blame her. Going by "Billy," would be a personal closeness he hasn't quite reached with most people yet. He's barely come to terms with it himself. ]

[ He doesn't move - at least - and save for what is clearly an initial invasion he tries not to go further. He's his own still vacuum, but the younger teenager's worries and thoughts come in trembling waves. He can feel the fear in the statement. Does not ask who Charles is. ]

I didn't mean to visit - Not exactly?

[ He starts and amends the truth, slightly apologetic. ]

I hear thoughts - people - all the time. It doesn't turn off and you were particularly -

[ A beat as he tries to think about how to express it. Loud isn't the word, he knows it's not the word. Empty sounds cruel. And so he settles on the word he said first and foremost. ]

Intensely quiet. The more intense people are the louder it is for me. So whatever you're doing - [ He shrugs. ] Spoke to me? I can try to leave.

[ He cannot promise he can. ]

[ Charles, she says again and he tilts his head a touch in question. She seems to categorize things into what she knows - He can't blame her. He must have done something similar in the early days of the amnesia. He'd made so many neat little boxes in his head of who William was and in what ways, important interested and dislikes.

It's different, but similar. ]


[ This close the thought bridges over like it's nothing. He doesn't have to seek out a memory she actively gives and he takes a shaky breath. Closes his eyes a moment. ]

... It's a lot like that, yeah. I think the differences are in the intensities and where.

[ But he can't know from an image shared with another. ]

[ It's strange yet to think there might be someone else in this castle who has such a similar experience. The thought alone makes his stomach scrunch up like a spring pressed together. Wanda was always an almost certainly but - ]


[ She says his name. Not quite correctly, but he nods anyway. It's close enough it doesn't matter, even if the name doesn't quite fit right anymore. Has never quite fit right, but same as her it's become a name that's much like dress-up clothes than anything else. ]

[ Do you like the quiet? His own eyes glance over the void as if he might see something. It remains still. There is no noise. In truth, perhaps this particular part unsettles him a little, if only because of that distant memory. Of feeling like he's in a space where he doesn't exist again. ]

[ He swallows it back, because that's a different part - neither here nor there. And, more importantly, he thinks that a rejection of it is a rejection of her. He gets the feeling he doesn't need more of that. ]

... I do.

[ After a moment and quietly said. His smile is a little more easy, if a touch more shy. ]

Weird too, in a way? Because I never really get quiet. Ever. So it feels strange -

but it's nice.

[ A beat. ]

Do you like the quiet? ... or were you just looking?

[ He's not sure what that means for her. Maybe, she too, can seek out minds and it's how she does it if their speaking now is anything to show for it. ]

Heeyyy, a little magnetic birdie told me you uh- Saw home.

[ A beat. ] Call me back when you can, kid. Got a couple questions.
ironypoisoned: (closin both my eyes)

[personal profile] ironypoisoned 2025-06-28 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
I- [ That takes him off guard for a moment. ] I meant Erik. Laura's father.

[ Any way! ] And you... Did? You saw them?
ironypoisoned: (didn't write a will)

you're all good!!

[personal profile] ironypoisoned 2025-07-12 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, Tony liked Erik too. Nice guy. Kinda has terrifying powers, but, well. Bruce. ]

Oh. [ He's not... Sure how to take that. ] Well that's... [ Good? Bad? Tony decides to let El decide that one. ] ...At least a sign we might have a way back.

[personal profile] ironypoisoned 2025-07-12 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I'd be angry too. [ Tony says honestly. He was lucky, he supposed, that all (most) of his friends were here. ]

You wanna... Talk about it?

Hullo my dear, it's the less-pretty Nancy.
A few people have mentioned you to me lately, so I thought I'd reach out, say hello again.


[She's not absolutely sure why, but maybe it's because this girl is hardly older than she was when she started going with Bill, but Nancy's been thinking of Eleven a lot more, too. And so she reaches out, thinking what she would have liked to hear when she was thirteen and surrounded by boys and men and would have done anything for a warm female figure.]

I was wondering if perhaps you wanted to come out shopping with me? There's a new booth in the market I saw. Looks like they sell sweets- I'd be happy to get you a bag, if you'd like.

[She wants this girl to have a childhood. She, like all children, deserves it, and something about her makes Nancy wonder if hers had been ripped away from her, too.]
maritorious: (rose)

[personal profile] maritorious 2025-08-11 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nancy is secure enough in her looks to know that it's okay if someone else is prettier than her. There are plenty of women here prettier than her, as she was learning first-hand. Oh, pretty women, her newest weakness.]

I do. [And now comes the part where she says 'we should talk' but she doesn't know what about and really she just wants to see a thirteen-year-old girl who looks like her and realize how wrong so much of her life was, and feel good about putting it behind her. But that's too much to put on anyone's shoulders. So she doesn't say it.]

Are you telling me you're going to turn down sweets? If that's the case, maybe I can offer a pretty dress, or a hair comb?
maritorious: t (kisses)

[personal profile] maritorious 2025-08-12 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
you’re welcome to be as nasty to me as you want- I’ve had loads of brothers your age and I promise I can take it.

But I do appreciate it.

Alright, sweets and shopping it is. Thank you for humoring me, I’m looking forward to it.
maritorious: (look at teh papes)

[personal profile] maritorious 2025-08-12 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
What on earth is a mouthbreather?

It's alright. You're very pretty yourself, you know. Probably prettier than I was at your age.

Whenever you'd like.
